Juventus to Loan Zion Suzuki from PSG Before Signing Alisson Becker on Free Transfer

Juventus are preparing to bring in Zion Suzuki on a one-year loan from Paris Saint-Germain as a short-term fix. The Serie A club aims to wait out the current transfer window and secure Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker on a free transfer in 2026 when his contract expires.

PSG Secures Suzuki from Parma but Plans Immediate Loan

Sources from Italy and France report that PSG is close to completing the €30 million transfer of Suzuki from Parma Calcio 1913, with potential bonuses adding up to €5 million. Despite the transfer, Suzuki is not expected to feature for PSG this season; instead, he will be loaned directly to Juventus. This unusual move is part of Juventus' plan to use Suzuki as a temporary solution while they wait for Alisson's arrival.

Spalletti’s Goalkeeping Preference Remains Clear

Luciano Spalletti, Juventus’ manager, has been actively searching for a new goalkeeper, engaging with Aston Villa for Emiliano Martinez. Yet, his top choice remains Alisson, whom he previously coached at Roma. Alisson made 64 appearances there and kept 26 clean sheets. Earlier in the year, Alisson expressed willingness to join Juventus, even at the cost of missing out on Champions League football, drawn by the project at Turin.

Liverpool Stands Firm Against Selling Alisson

Liverpool has rejected all offers to sell Alisson during this transfer period. With his contract running through June 2027, Juventus plans to wait patiently. Alisson has featured in 333 matches for Liverpool, keeping 140 clean sheets and winning two league titles plus a Champions League trophy. Manager Andoni Iraola highlighted Alisson’s importance, saying:

"I believe he will be an extremely important element in helping the new players adapt, whether experienced or young. We need role models like Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, and Joe Gomez—players who have spent many years here."

Looking Ahead: Suzuki Integration and Monitoring Alisson

Once the loan deal is finalized, Juventus will focus on integrating Suzuki into their squad for the domestic season. Meanwhile, Alisson, who has earned 83 caps for Brazil, continues as a key player for Liverpool ahead of their first match against Newcastle United. Juventus intends to keep a close watch on him and aims to sign a pre-contract agreement before 2027.
